Anyway, the rest of it is correct. And who was Origen? First, he was Greek. Second, he is one of the most influential late 2nd century Christian apologetics. In fact he is largely responsible for the "orthodox doctrine" in the early Church. It was him who insisted Mary is the Ever-Virgin Theotokos.
Yet, he was disgraced as a heretic. His canon contained many Gnostic works, which he considered "inspired". His triniatrianism is subordinaitonalist. He taught universal salvation, and the pre-existence of the souls, both of which are officially heretical. In the second half of his life, he embraced Gnosticism.
The first Unitarian. (We have a very big tent.)

(I would not believe in the Gospel if the authority of the Catholic Church did not move me to do so..)
